pollythewog Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 i love phelps in the pen but this team has a bottom 5 pitching staff and phelps could be very capable as a #3 SP. the game doesnt start in the 7th inning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erick Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 Only reason why Conley is not a reliever yet is because he's still young, and thus the organization still has some hope that he can become a poor man's Chris Sale. Koehler should be in the pen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erick Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 why not turn kershaw into a RP? his #s would be even more incredible He's the best starter in baseball. You were talking about Phelps probably being a good #4... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conley needs to get in shape. his velo tanked his last 50 innings. he sux when he loses his velo. agree 100% on TK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Phelps has a solid shot at ~150 innings of ~3.50ish FIP/ERA as a starter which is much more valuable than 60 ip as borderline elite RP specifically on a team with a massive need for innings/SP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pollythewog Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 So the problem is then that they shouldn't use Phelps as a 7th inning guy. exactly. he should be used as 1 through 6 guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erick Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 We're thinking too conventionally IMO. Phelps could easily be used differently and throw 90-100 innings out of the pen, not 60. That's the role I'd like to see him in. Mattingly said he could be a poor man's Andrew Miller. Maybe Mattingly learned something from the playoffs.

That's the role I'd like to see him in. Well now that's a completely different scenario.

CYmarlins Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 Phelps did an incredible job last year. The fact that he stepped in as a starter mid season and was still able to sustain success is great. Would be great to see him as a starter but if he can be used unconventionally like @Erick said and get 90-100 innings we will all be happy with that.
